Essentially, there are two methods of counting in binary. One, is as nooker says, straight binary translation, which is purely numerical

however, if you want to convey information besides numbers, you need some key to convert numerical data into a more complete character set. The most commonly used english key for this, is the ASCII character set, which doesn't actually begin showing characters (instead of formatting) till 32, and doesn't begin the number sequence till 48. Hence, 56 is 8 (incidentally, that is why the html for 8 is &#56; )

Most translation software uses ASCII, since most "translate this to binary" requests will not be purely numeric in nature and as such, goes through the step of converting the numbers to ASCII, hence this confusion here

It's conversations like this that make me glad I'm a Carpenter.

I fancy having a go but I've never entered anything like this before, either a comp or an online, inter web thingy. Would a converted GorkaMorka model be allowed? If so are WIP pics compulsory? (I tend to get quite immersed in my projects and forget halfway thru.)

Would a puppet master count for mordheim? I have some idea's forming for a mutant with some voodoo controlling like ability using puppets... or is there not enough tech/steam involved for that to count?

Also, on the assumption that doesn't count. If I'm wanting to do a stock pit slave model... does it matter than he's already on a base and had his arm attached before comp began?

Yeah but the idea is abducting villagers then controlling them through puppets... so no actual construction/robot type thingy... but hey, I've been thinking about something like this for over a year so might as well give it a go and get something made!
